U2 Glastonbury Setlist Prediction

[gareth brown]

U2 > News > Countdown to Glastonbury

a little countdown bonus video every day, haven't seen this before it's pretty cool. One of the videos is Edge remembering Red Rocks. One of them's a live version of Bad, whereas another is ......Bullet The Blue Sky....so if they're using these to drop hints then let's just hope BTBS isn't sloppy

 

[Vlad n U 2]

It seems plausible that all of these songs in the countdown will be played at Glasto, otherwise there wouldn't be much point. They're slowly leaking the setlist to us.

 

[gareth brown]

yeah...all we need to do now is go check on friday night if U2.com make any more stupid slip-ups like adding the date to a song's list of previous performances like they did a few months back and we can piece it all together ourselves

 

[MikeyJB]

I'd absolutely love it if they play Bullet the Blue Sky. That and New Year's Day are two classics I've yet to see them play live. Just about to go Glastonbury booze/food shopping, its almost here!!!

 

[gareth brown]

hehe nice, still got to go booze/food shopping. i mean again. me and my girlfriend got through 36 of the 72 Brothers cans this past month...so i'm saving those now. haven't even got an idea of how i'm fucking GETTING there haha anyone going near the Bath area?

Hi all - first time post. Hope in right section, re; Glasto - NME reports extra staging (NOT the Claw, but something additional U2 bringing their own stage to Glastonbury? | News | NME.COM ) plus also a handy Webcam via the BBC BBC Glastonbury Festival - 2011 - Glastonbury Webcam of the Pyramid Stage. Hope this is of interest ! !

 

[SBU2]

The only extra-staging i'd expect them to bring would be some form of a catwalk so they can interact with the fans. I was finding it difficult to imagine U2 performing for nearing 2 hours and not once being able to interact with the fans on the Pyramid stage.

I sincerely hope they don't bring some stripped down version of The Claw though, as it would be nice to see them performing on a different stage/set-up for once.

Interesting on the Larry interview it seems that 3 opening sections have been talked about

Spoiler

Streets, A Baby overload and 40though I guess the last one was a bit of a joke comment but it does show it may be on the radar for a possible closer

 

[MikeyJB]

What's this about a Larry interview? Does such a thing exist?!

What's this about a Larry interview? Does such a thing exist?!

Larry did an interview today and discussed the band's Glastonbury appearance and setlist details.

Check the last few pages of the Glastonbury TV Coverage thread in Everything You Know Is Wrong

 

[nirniva]

BTBS would make sense. Former warhorse that hasn't been played in ages...seems like it'd be a good fit.
Should be interesting to see what staging elements they have in store...Popmart arch, please?
EDIT: One of the commenters on the NME site said that they were "hoping for it to be the ZooTV stage design," which would also be really cool (and probably more reasonable.)

 

[Axver]

Fucking frustrating knowing they've got that Ferrari in the garage, and watching them wander in there every now and then, have a kick of the tyres and then wander out again, frustrated because it doesn't appear to be a boat. It's a fucking Ferrari! DRIVE IT LIKE YOU STOLE IT EDGE!

This is why I love your posts.

 

[redhill]

I'm voting for Breathe to be played at Glasto!

As well as all the countdown hints (BTBS, Disco, Bad!)

Would be shocked if the song Glastonbury did not make it...

Plus at least one complete stunner would be outstanding (full band Stay, ASOH well rehearsed and full band, Drowning Man, TTTYAATW, all seem possible but something completely left field would be outstanding as well.)

Mofo seems possible as well for some reason...

 

[cobl04]

I bet they play Satellite of Love.

Ya never know girl!

 

[MikeyJB]

Morrissey would have played it just over an hour or so prior though

 

[gareth brown]

also, i'm just loving that Countdown Bonus on U2.com HOW ABOUT YOU EARNIE?

 

[cobl04]

Morrissey would have played it just over an hour or so prior though

He keeps an extremely close eye on everything that U2 say or do and then constructs his live shows around them.

 

[Peterrrrr]

F**ck, why????

Since U2 got the information about the campaign against their tax shifting(shifting parts of its business affairs from Ireland to the Netherlands) the band has decided to cancel their appearance

Glastonbury Festivals - News - U2 forced to cancel Glastonbury appearance

NOTE FROM THE ADMINISTRATOR: THIS NEWS STORY IS FROM 2010 AND IS NOT CURRENT NEWS

 

[Earnie Shavers]

also, i'm just loving that Countdown Bonus on U2.com HOW ABOUT YOU EARNIE?

So far, half that list are just songs Morrissey is not going to play as a nod to U2 not playing them.

Interesting paradigm shift "Shaver!"

Maybe you and ol "Cobbler" can throw a party and listen to every song where Bono says the word "knees" together over and over, really work as a team and get on down with each other!

Rock on!

I no u r but wat am i

Why, you're a Bitch, Danny boy!

All in good fun, right?!

Just tell the same joke over and over and maybe - just maybe - it will finally be funny!

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

peterrrr, uhh, could you not randomly quote a year-old article, please? there's no point in posting an article of when they had to cancel LAST YEAR just to freak everyone out.

Repost the same idiotic arguments over and over and you will - you will - remain wrong.

Your the one keeping it alive Bitch. Just let it go already...

Must I really post in a completely different thread (after a Mod closed the other one) just to see your moronic reiteration of a joke that was never funny?

STFU already.

 

[cobl04]

I think it's quite funny. But I'll just say that I am beyond jealous of those preparing for Glasto in a few days.

stop it with the name calling. calling people bitch and telling them to stfu isn't allowed.

i do agree though that everyone should just let it go.
